Gotta love the ruler flat torque curve once on boost, unlike the mountain peaks ive seen before! Very nice work....

Just wondering, how much did the correction affect the score?

I think everyone with half a brain figures out it's dodgy and just a joke within 10 seconds of seeing the dyno chart :P

It's not meant to be serious, it's all in good fun :D

LOL well the only pics I saw of the chart had a finger in the way!

p.s. WTB: ½-brain

As a rule... as soon as you see Merli post, dont expect it to be anywhere near seriousness

All fun and games.

hehe i was waitin for Merli to get his pantihose in a knot when his 100% error calibration power figure was ousted by a real car :D hehe

and denham, that can't be a new Dyno coz

a) we had our fundraiser dyno day on it about a week beforehand on it

B) it blew fuses 3 times on the weekend due to power surges... (all matlowth's fault :) with his RB30DET sporting T07 or some BFT)

c) when Sam opened her up to check for that stone when Ben put his GTR on, i could clearly see old gears with rust in places and cobwebs like it hadn't been opened for a while

Shan - you have got about 4% of facts right from MAS so far!

It was Emre that killed the dyno with his 2530's set-up. For a while there we thought he was going to be the out-right winner with 340ish awkw's as it didnt look like the dyno was going to run again. (Especially for me who had my car on it for 3 hours straight after and in the end didnt even get to run that day!)

And I was told the other day RH9 was sold and is now a street car.

lol the dyno was killed a few times... does Emre have a burgandy R33 with an RB30DET that looks VERY sleeper like?

argh u tools... i was talkin bout malowth's stint at blowing up the dyno, not Emre... altho all the fangers did a top job of blowing that dyno up :)

It hasn't run with the power it's putting out now, but back when it was making 380-400ish rwkw, it ran a 10.9.

If you look in the HPI top 10 RWD over 2.4l, it's number 1.

Cheers,

matt

Matt its the blue GTST with Street Macines sign wrote all over it with GTR front gaurds and a RB26, I checked it out at our Jamboree damn nice car, running smaller twin Apexi turbos, Nitrous and Mickey Thompson ET street slicks it was running constant 10.9's all weekend

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
